The Sparkle Egg by Jill Hardie
About The Book:
Easter is coming, and Sam loves Easter! But this year, he is upset about a lie he told his parents. Even though he apologized and they
forgave him, Sam can’t shake the feeling that he is a bad kid for what he did. Meanwhile, his parents help him make a special Easter craft
called a Sparkle Egg. His mom tells him to write anything he feels sorry about or ashamed of on a piece of paper and put it inside his
Sparkle Egg.
On Easter morning, when he opens his Sparkle Egg expecting a surprise, Sam finds that it is empty! His parents explain that because
Jesus died and rose again, we are forgiven. Like the tomb that first Easter Day, Sam's egg is empty - and Sam’s wrongdoing is
completely forgiven. Once he accepts this forgiveness fully, Sam realizes a truth: we can sparkle and shine with God’s light when we
let God’s gift of grace into our hearts. This touching story will strike a deep chord with readers of all ages, and the Sparkle Egg tradition will help readers and their
families grasp the totality of God’s perfect grace.
My Thoughts:
This book is great! I think the author should do something for every holiday, as these books are entertaining plus educational! Callan can't wait to make a special egg for Easter!

I will love to win this first, because it's such a nice story just reading about it in here I felt something I don't know how to describe it, and second because I know some kids who will need this book to learn one or two things, I'm pretty sure they will learn something that they have never known about it.
ReplyDeleteMy kids love making sparkling eggs and with sequins and things! My mother in law loves to make them as pretty as possible! I'm sure this book would be a great fit with the eggs that they will be getting this Easter!
ReplyDeleteI'd like this book because it helps teach an important lesson.
